System and method for printing and cutting

A method, comprising:

• preparing a paper medium that includes an image-receiving region, a first sticky outer periphery region extending along a length of the paper medium, and a second sticky outer periphery region extending along a length of the paper medium, wherein the image-receiving region is located between the first sticky outer periphery region and the second sticky outer periphery region;
• loading the paper medium into an electronic cutter such that:
• a first roller of the electronic cutter directly contacts the first sticky outer periphery region, and, a second roller of the electronic cutter directly contacts the second sticky outer periphery region for driving the paper medium relative to the electronic cutter in a forward direction or a reverse direction;
• after the loading step, utilizing one or more components of the electronic cutter for determining misalignment of the paper medium relative to a blade of the electronic cutter;
• after the determining step, further utilizing the one or more components of the electronic cutter for:
• A) moving the blade to a cutting position relative to the paper medium that compensates for misalignment of the paper medium relative to the blade, and then
• B) arranging the blade in direct contact with the paper medium, and then
• C) moving the blade relative to the paper medium in direction orthogonal to either of the forward direction and the reverse direction for cutting a pattern into the paper medium.
